There can be no reasonable doubt that
there is prosperous future awaiting that
rich and beautiful country. The marvellous
change that has come over Mandalay, even
in the few months since annexation, Indicates
what NAV I've looked for over the whole land.
Pegu, with surface of about y 900 square
miles, had in 1858, or five years after its an
nexation, a population of only about $50 600;
in 1881 this had increased to 1850 0hO About
I0n. 900 acres are reclaimed every year from
the jungle and brought under cultivation,
and this province is now the greatest rice
producing country in the east. and the most
progressive and prosperous portion of the
Indian empire. Upper Burmah and the
subordinate states, with an area of nearly
100000 square mies-that is, country as
large as France-have population estimated
at only 3,0OO,0O0 Upper Burmah is not, like
Lower Burmah, great rice field; but there
are large tracts under rice cultivation, and
there is hardly product of a tropical or even
a temperate climate for which some part of
the country or other may not be suitable =
